Lunch Date With Tubbs

For the first time EVER....Tubbs asked if I could come to his school and eat lunch with him. This is the same boy who ditched me on the first day of school last month. How could I say no?! It made me very happy. I was going to pack a lunch and bring it, but I was very unorganized this morning so I made his lunch and figured I would figure out my lunch later. I called the school after I got to work and found out what time he went to lunch. I decided we had enough time to head down the street and pick up something together. When I got to Tubbs school he was heading up to the office to meet me with his lunch pail...and was surprised when I told him we were going out to lunch. I couldn't gauge if that made him happy or not but when I told him we were headed to McDonald's he was pleased. I asked him what he was going to eat and if he wanted to get Yogurtland for dessert. He said he preferred a McFlurry instead! He must be crazy! :) So, I picked up a yogurt for lunch and brought it over to McDonald's where we could eat lunch. Tubbs was excited he got to get a Happy Meal since we don't usually order them for the kids. It was entertaining to just spend time with Tubbs and talk to him. He is an interesting little guy and he makes me laugh. He doesn't mind being silly which is why I think most kids get a long with him. On the way to lunch Tubbs opened his lunch box and started eating his treat. I thought: "what the heck!" Thanks for having lunch with me Tubbs....it made me feel very special and I enjoyed our time alone. I hope we can do this more often!
